what should we expect from the nra other than a statement? >> if history is a guide, and you go on past behavior, the nra, the last time they were pushed into a corner was when murder was at its all-time high in the u.s. in the mid-1990s. they came out in support of the background check we use today. mostly they come out and say we need to do a better job of enforcing existing laws, not new laws. that means things like more names from people who have been adjudicated, mentally defected, to be added to the data base of prohibitive people. right now there's only 1,700,000. lots of states don't contribute at all because of privacy rules. more tracking down of people who aren't supposed to have guns and things like that. >> i'm curious, though, if they'll do more. they've already said on friday on this press conference they're going to have a major press conference. i'm curious if they're going to say something more. you're right that's in their track record. what about gun sales? we've now read gun sales are up huge. how much were they up after

and i have been watching the nra for a long time. my dad was a gun deal never colorado, among other things. and you know, i sort of know that nra members are basically mainstream folks with mainstream views on guns. and the nra is normally a smart organization or thought to be. but today's statement is probably the best evidence of i have seen that the organization has a serious political positioning problem. it was incoherent it was factually incorrect. and it was so politically tone deaf to suggest to a nation that a sort of rising up for action, that the answer to to many guns in our society is to put an rnl aed guard in the class room, i think that wayne la pierre has a problem within the country but also within his organization. >> suarez: he pointed out that when you put up a sign that says gun-free school, this he is a gun-free school zone, that you are telling anybody who might want to commit an armed crime there, that they can come on in and no one will shoot back. >> i must tell you, i mean he was speaking in english but be
